Empowering girl boss storyline
This drama has been sitting in my to-watch list for a few years now, ever since I've gotten into Kdramas really. This is an intense slice-of-line series that I would put on as soon as I finished work as a good de-stresser very fitting into the theme of corporate. I loved that the story highlighted the main flaws with corporate business within the country supporting the themes of work culture, nepotism, bribery, feminism, long working hours, excessive drinking etc. It's quite a handful but I was impressed with the controversial direction in plot that the directors had chosen to take in. Female empowerment was unreal and very inspiring to someone working in the same industry. In my humble opinion, the drama would've been perfect if it wasn't for the super toxic female and male lead relationship: I swear I stopped paying attention to it by the 7th time they'd broken up. In relationships, communication is key, and even though they were truthful and had communicated A LOT, that really didn't stop them through dragging their relationship through the mud. I forgive them because their chemistry was off the charts - well played. Quite an intense watch but addressing many problems within Korean society and making you feel empowered as a female in the end, so definitely put on your list to watch if you want to switch it up a bit.
